As a litigator, Chenkin represents major financial institutions and individuals in civil, criminal, regulatory and compliance-related matters.

About Zeichner Ellman & Krause LLP
Zeichner Ellman & Krause LLP is a law firm founded nearly a generation ago on principles revolutionary then, which have today become aspirational for law firm clients. We are a sophisticated full service financial services/business law firm built upon the three firm pillars: substantial expertise, client centric service, and price advantaged, flexible charges.
ZEK, founded in 1980, offers its services in all aspects of commercial legal representation. The Firm specializes in representing clients in domestic and international banking and finance, litigation and arbitration, general commercial and corporate law, real estate, securities, regulatory matters, trusts and estates, insurance, creditors’ rights and bankruptcy matters.
We have a long history of advising clients concerning Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorist Financing compliance, as well as related financial crime regulatory matters under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). Our clients look to us not only for assistance in implementing robust AML compliance, but also for our expertise when facing government scrutiny. Thus, we have significant experience in conducting internal investigations and guiding clients through external investigations conducted by federal, state and local law enforcement, regulators and legislative committees, including the United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI).
We have represented clients in many of the investigations conducted by the PSI over the last decade involving AML and financial crime. We have also defended global companies and individuals in high profile investigations by the PSI and others regarding the recent financial crisis, kleptocracy, tax havens, tax policy, correspondent banking, derivatives risk, e-commerce, mortgage fraud, securities manipulation and FIRREA. We frequently collaborate with other firms who retain us as co-counsel in connection with such investigations because of our expertise in financial crime matters and our demonstrated track record.
In addition to handling investigations, we regularly interact with law enforcement and regulators on behalf of our clients in connection with BSA reporting, disclosure and related matters. We also advise clients in managing regulatory risk concerning financial crime/AML issues arising in private commercial litigation, including the disclosure of, among other things, suspicious activity reporting and Bank Examination material. Finally, we provide training on all these issues to financial institutions and their in-house counsel, other outside counsel firms, and law enforcement.
Event Synopsis:
Reporting by financial organizations, mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), plays a crucial role in combating terrorist financing and money laundering. By now, we all know the four pillars of a BSA/AML program. The “what” and “why” are nothing new but looking to 2016, AML professionals will need to balance the expectations of the regulators while constantly reevaluating the “how.” The surge in enforcement actions sends a clear message that there is a huge gap between what regulators consider to be sound AML and CFT risk management and what the current situation for most financial institutions is. The gaps in AML programs along with sophisticated emerging trends in financial crimes suggest that traditional methodologies and technologies have fallen short of the stated goals.
Financial institutions must be willing to move beyond traditional AML programs and technology if they wish to effectively manage risk across the enterprise, protect the organization’s reputation and satisfy the regulators.
In this two hour, Live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss how certain trends are shaping the AML landscape and how the role of technology is becoming a game-changer for more effective AML programs. Speakers will present their thoughts on next generation AML. Topics include:
An Enterprise View of Risk
REPs (Reputationally Exposed Persons found in Adverse Media)
Day 1 vs. Day 2
FinCEN 314b and information sharing
Effective AML Models: Risk/Principles-based vs. Rules-based
Model Validation
Leveraging the next generation of technology
Introducing Intelligence to the AML/CFT Environment
Data analytics
Visualization
Link Analysis
Risk scoring
Outsourced solutions
